Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Still Want to Kiss Him a Few More Times
“No, I…” Mengmeng was about to speak again when she heard the announcement start over the broadcast.
“The first-year girls’ 1500 meters race is about to begin. All participants, please gather at the race track.”
The homeroom teacher quickly nudged Mengmeng, “The race is about to start, why are you still dazing? Hurry and get ready.”
As she spoke, she handed Mengmeng her race bib.
“But…” Mengmeng was just about to tell her that Xu Shanshan had signed her up without her knowledge.
But her voice was cut off once again by the homeroom teacher, “No buts. If there’s anything, we can talk after the race. Now go bring honor to our class. Hurry up, I’ve got other things to take care of,”
Having said that, the homeroom teacher hurried off.
Mengmeng held the race bib, looking helpless.
Tong Mo seemed even more desperate than Mengmeng, “What do we do now?”
“I’ve got no choice but to bite the bullet and run.” Mengmeng spread her hands and then took the lead.
However, she didn’t head to the race first; she ran to where Gu Zhihan was at the chairman’s stand.
Gu Zhihan wasn’t participating in any events this sports day, but the school leadership had called on him to read out the cheering words sent by the various classes during the competition.
When she reached him, Luo Mengmeng softly called out to him from the side, “Gu Zhihan, I’ve got to run the 1500 soon. It’s my first time in a sports day, and I’m a little nervous. Will you have time to come and watch me?”
After finishing, seeing the stack of papers he had to read, Mengmeng quickly added, “If you’re really busy, then, then never mind.”
She really wanted her husband to come and watch her, but she didn’t want to hold him back from his own matters.
“It’s fine, I’m not that busy.” Gu Zhihan met her slightly anxious gaze, shook his head gently, and even though he was somewhat perplexed about when she had signed up for the 1500 meters, since the race was about to start, he didn’t have time to ask anything more. He immediately took the race bib from her hands, “Turn around, let me pin it on for you.”
After he had secured it, he urged her, “You go get ready. After I read through one more paper, I’ll come to the field to watch you.”
Mengmeng showed him a big smile.
The troubles stirred up by Xu Shanshan instantly vanished like smoke in thin air.
After Mengmeng ran to the race, Gu Zhihan organized his thoughts, picked up the megaphone in front of him, and——
Mengmeng had already taken her place on the track, ready to go.
The race was about to start, and yet Gu Zhihan hadn’t arrived. Mengmeng couldn’t help but sigh, guessing that he was probably held back because he had too many scripts to read and the school leaders wouldn’t let him leave easily…
Just as she was thinking this, the school’s loudspeakers came to life.
Gu Zhihan’s deep and pleasant voice immediately filled the entire school field——
“Luo Mengmeng, a student from the first-year Class One, is about to participate in the girls’ 1500 meters. I want to give her a word of encouragement: go for it.”
Shortly after the voice dropped, Luo Mengmeng’s gaze swiftly found Gu Zhihan saying goodbye to those around him before getting up from the chairman’s stand and walking towards her direction.
Although there were many people around, the moment she looked up, Mengmeng’s gaze collided with his.
The noisy world suddenly went silent as if only he and she remained.
Originally, when he said he would come to her after reading the last word of encouragement, she thought he was reading it for someone else; she hadn’t expected it to be for her…
Suddenly, Luo Mengmeng felt an urge to run into his arms.
And luckily, Luo Mengmeng didn’t know that the cheer had also been made up on the spot by Gu Zhihan, or she might have wanted to kiss him a few more times…
